The Library of the National Congress of Chile (Spanish: Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile, BCN) is a service of the National Congress of Chile that serves as an information center for the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The library advises parliamentarians in the social sciences, law, legislation, history, and the development of Chile.
Among its responsibilities are the maintenance of free access to current Chilean law. It also provides parliamentarians and their work teams with advice via meeting minutes, reports, analytical data, and private seminars. It collects news clippings and offers information services and book lending.
Diego Matte Palacios assumed the charge of Director of the BCN on July 10, 2023, following former director, Manuel Alfonso Pérez Guiñez's passing.[1]
